Easy Digital Downloads

<h4>Featured Downloads is now part of EDD Core</h4>
<p>As of Easy Digital Downloads 3.5.1, the Featured Downloads addon is included in Easy Digital Downloads. You no longer need this addon to use the Featured Downloads feature.</p>
<h4>About this Addon</h4>
<p>This plugin requires <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" title="Easy Digital Downloads" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a>. It’s aimed at developers/clients who need to show a list of featured downloads.</p>
<ol>
<li>Provides a template tag so finely-tuned placement of featured downloads in your theme is possible.</li>
<li>Provides a shortcode which will simply list all the featured downloads, without the need to enter any IDs.</li>
<li>Provides a simple interface for managing featured downloads in the WordPress admin. A “feature download” checkbox will be added to each download edit/publish screen as well as the quick edit boxes. At a glance you’ll also be able to see which downloads have been featured on your website from the main download listing.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Shortcode Usage</h4>
<p>Add the “featured” attribute to the existing [downloads] shortcode provided by Easy Digital Downloads:</p>
<pre><code>[downloads featured="yes"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Template Tag Usage</h4>
<p>The following code can be used to show the featured downloads anywhere in your theme:</p>
<pre><code>echo do_shortcode( '[downloads featured="yes"]' );
</code></pre>
<p>You can include any other attributes supported by the <a href="https://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/224-downloads" rel="nofollow ugc">[downloads] shortcode</a>.</p>
<h4>Building your own Query</h4>
<p>To build your own query using <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query" title="WP_Query" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_Query</a> you can use the <code>meta_key</code> parameter with a value of <code>edd_feature_download</code>. The following example builds a simple unordered list with all the featured downloads.</p>
<pre><code><?php

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'download',
    'meta_key'  => 'edd_feature_download',
);

$featured_downloads = new WP_Query( $args );

if( $featured_downloads->have_posts() ) : ?>

    <ul>
        <?php while( $featured_downloads->have_posts() ) : $featured_downloads->the_post(); ?>
        <li>
           <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
                <?php the_title(); ?>
           </a>
        </li>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>

<?php endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</code></pre>
